Still a Terribly Managed Company - Recensione dipendente - Manager presso WSP

Low pay, fleeting benefits etc. Record high profits but abysmal raises. No reason to put in the extra effort for a 1% raise. Hidden and non-transparent promotions. Sr. Leadership blames middle mangers and below for their short comings. No value to employees; you are a cog in the machine. 40 hr work weeks are 60. They expect you to work for free and never approve you for overtime. Obvious shenanigans with their pay equity review. I know the pay equity reviews of past companies and am familiar with WSP's. They cut corners. Of course, this is a hard truth for Sr. Leadership to swallow. I would expect more wisdom from them to finally accept this fact. Sr. Leadership is new, but they are not learning and management and directors are getting impatient. Revolving door of workers. Creates too much slack and stress for other workers. you now have to do the work for the people that just left; of course, they are not going to grant overtime (of which my pay grade does not even get). Sr. Leadership just blames this on us. I hate to say this, but the only committed workforce of the company, and what's left after the Great Resignation, are foreigners who need the Visa Sponsorship or Green Card Renewal. WSP has become an outsourced company, just within US territory. Sr. people (right below Sr. Leadership) are scared mangers will start to leave due to the absolute catastrophe created by the current Sr. Leadership. Champion diversity? Pshaw. They hire then fire POC. On the flip side of the coin, there is racism the company is failing to address. POC are considered diversity hires and leadership is doing nothing to address this. First case of corporate racism I have ever witnessed. They expect participation in organizations. Of course, you have to pay out of your own pocket, and your own PTO. "we champion professional development". The young folks are paid about 15k-20k less than their consultancy and agency counter-parts. I don't know a single rookie who actually sees a future here. They are constantly trying to jump ship. We don't have the capacity to create a growing and sustainable WSP workforce. Agencies have fallen out of favor with us. We are forced to produce just the bottom line. WSP (PB before Balfour bled us) was once a place of technical excellency. We have become indentured servants forced to output b.s. to the clients. Clients don't like this, and they are not coming back.
